Nestle issues Aero hot chocolate warning amid safety risk

Packs of Aero hot chocolate have been recalled as they could pose a risk of choking.

Nestle UK has issued the warning over its tubs of hot chocolate, as well as the 'Go Instant' cups and sachets.

Its product recall notice states: "Nestle UK & Ireland is voluntarily recalling the above AERO Hot chocolate products including all batch codes and dates. This action is being taken as it has come to our attention that a very small number of packs may contain small (2mm-3mm) food-grade silica beads. The beads are non-toxic but could present a minimal choking risk."

"Nestle sets very high standards for the quality of its products and any packs affected by this issue clearly fall short of those standards. This relates on the AERO Hot Chocolate and does not affect any other AERO products."
